Usually carpet is held down with a tack strips that run along the wall. Just pry up the carpet at the walls roll the carpet up to the point you can fix the pipe...... Then after it's finished then roll the carpet back and use a knee kicker or power stretcher to stretch the carpet back into place, then tuck the carpet between the tack strip and the wall...... Also there should be a crawl space under the house, to get to the pipes.......There should some kind of access door to get down there, you just have to find it...... Anyway Good Luck..............

Q:Should I buy a refurbished rug doctor?

It might cost more than the Bissell or Hoover but thats because it works better and lasts longer. I've borrowed my parents brand new Bissell and it doesn't clean anywhere near as well as the Rug Doctor rentals. I have 2 jack russell's so I need to clean up stains frequently. The refurbished machines on the rugdoctor site are blue, not red so they are not pulled from the rental stores. They're probably returns or overstock from Costco or WalMart so I would trust them to be reliable and not used much. They don't cost much more than a Bissel or Hoover so I think its worth it to buy the highest quality machine. Even if its a hundred bucks more, it will last forever where most other machines seem to break after 2 years. The refurbished machines also have a 5 year warranty just like the brand new Rug Doctors. Buying a refurbished machine is probably a great way to save some cash on a machine that usually runs $500-600 and I trust the brand all day long.

Q:Can carpet be laid on floor?

Certainly. The wooden floor with carpet laying will not noly improve overall quality, but also can make a room appear warm and sweet. Thick carpet in the bedroom in winter allows you to sit on the floor with bare foot; the rug in front of the sofa of the living room just perfectly plays a decorative role. The reason for laying carpet on floor is that of course floor is good, but it will give people a sense of rejection becaues of its coolness, and floor appears naked, with a soft carpet of color and strong texture, brings a quiet, comfortable feeling of life quality. The whole bedroom is covered with delicate soft light colored wool carpets. The carpets mix together with the walls, so as to expand the space. Soft and comfortable bedroom can make people relaxed, off the hard day and tension.

Q:can throw rugs be placed on top of a full rugged room?

Rugs on carpet is certainly ok to do. However I found the rug would tend to wander a bit too much, and have found there is some real good material on sale that you put between the rug and carpet. This prevents all slippage, our rug hasn't moved in a long time now, and still looks great!

Q:How do you ship a rug?

I think below given points helps you. 1. Determine whether you can fold or roll your rug. Some rugs cannot be folded or rolled without damage. Check for dry rot by feeling the rug for stiff, brittle areas. If you find dry rot, you will want to have this damage repaired professionally before you ship the rug. If at any point during this process you hear a crackling or snapping sound, immediately stop and seek professional assistance. That is the sound of damaged fibers in your rug breaking. 2. Lay your rug flat on a clean surface. Fold one of the longer edges toward the center of the rug, a little less than 1/3. Repeat this with the opposite edge, folding it over your initial fold. Be sure not to have your folds overlap, otherwise there may be needless stress applied to the rug in shipping. 3. Fold the rug again. Fold both the opposite shorter edges toward the middle of the rug. Rug Rag recommends that you let the rug fold where it falls naturally. 4. Roll the rug starting from one of the shorter edges. 5. Tie the rug to secure the folds using rope or a strong twine. 6. Wrap the rug with a towel or padding for protection. Add additional padding on the ends of the rug, because rugs tend to be dragged during shipping. Rug Rag warns against using newspaper, because newspaper will bleed onto the rug if wet. Secure the additional padding with more twine or rope. 7. Wrap the rug in a heavy-duty, nontransparent plastic or Tyvek polyethylene material. Mark the plastic clearly with Do Not Use Hooks. Tape off any ends to make sure it is waterproof. If the rug will be stored for a long time before it is unpacked, throw in a few moth balls to prevent moth damage before you seal the plastic. 8. Package your rug in any packaging material you wish, and ship with your preferred shipping carrier. Purchase insurance to ensure peace of mind when shipping.

Q:how can I clean a sisal rug?

Hey,i happen to have a sisal rug myself!! Firstly, it depends on the kind of sisal rug you have. There are two types: synthetic fiber, which may contain nylon or wool-blend materials; and natural fiber, made of plant products such as sea grass, paper, or coconut fibers. To safely clean synthetic-fiber sisals, follow the manufacturer's directions, which may recommend hot-water extraction or a dry-cleaning method. Manufacturers of natural-fiber sisals suggest only a dry-cleaning method. Do not steam-clean or wet-shampoo; liquids or excessive dampness may cause these rugs to shrink or pucker. For spot-cleaning a stain, lightly mist the area with the manufacturer's recommended cleaning solution (do not pour or heavily apply any cleanser directly onto the rug). Then blot the damp area with a white towel and continue blotting until the stain is removed. A fabric protectant may be applied to both types of sisal rugs during the manufacturing process or by the consumer. But regular wear and tear and cleaning can decrease its effectiveness; it may need to be reapplied.=] thx,
